Crank up the volume and the air conditioning and gather all the trekkies

coz we are boldly going where no man has gone before in this episode of Planet Action!

Coming up, we hop onto the USS Enterprise and head to the final frontier for ‘Star Trek Beyond

Rihanna drops a Sledgehammer onto the franchise

and we find out all about the props that make space-age movies look so good

So we created and designed this hundred dollar bill that has many parts on it that aren’t real

like for motion picture use only

If you look on the back it’s the Bilson house, and it doesn’t for me look like a hundred dollar bill

but it was close enough for them to start turning up after extras kept them as souvenirs

But first, our top three Star Trek movies!

پلنت اکشن

The long running franchise Gene Roddenberry created is so vast

with hundreds of series episodes and dozens of films

that within it are some real gems to be found

So, let’s check out our top three best ‘Star Trek’ movies

We kick things off with ‘Into Darkness’,

the sequel to the 2009 reboot by J.J. Abrams

Where the first one was an original story

this installment follows the crew of the Enterprise after they’re much more experienced

And they’ll need that, as they face a truly worthy adversary.

So why do we find this film in our top three?

Well, the acting, CGI, action and overall spectacle that we expect from 'Trek’ are all there

but what gives it a little extra over other titles is the character development

It’s the emotional politics and the individual arcs

that make audiences sympathize with Kirk and his Federation colleagues, as they try to save the universe

For Kirk in this film.. in the first film

he kind of would be this swaggering punk

and I think this is a lot about him learning humility and what it means to be a good leader,So I think

he has to, the sacrifices he makes in this are really kind of his own ego and his need to prefer self-aggrandisement

On the second place we find 1996’s ‘First Contact’

It’s easily the best movie with ‘The Next Generation’ cast

and almost the best ‘Star Trek’ flick ever made

This comes down to two things

First, there’s the ingenuity of the plot

which uses time travel, but does it in such a clever way it doesn’t feel like we’ve seen it a hundred times before already

The second big plus for this title is the presence of the Borg

The cybernetic baddies are fan favorite villains, and for good reason

They seem so strong and overpowering

you could almost say it would be futile to try to resist them

Luckily for us, Captain Picard and his crew do it anyway and manage to save all mankind

On top of that, there’s plenty of humor, intriguing dialogue, action and even the special effects still hold up to this day

Yep, ‘First Contact’ is simply a joy to watch

The date. The data. I need the exact date.

April 4th, 2063

They were flying at the surface. Location?

Western hemisphere. North American continent

Looks like a missile complex in Central Montana

And that brings us to the winner

Our favorite ’Star Trek’ movie is

the 2009 reboot by director J.J. Abrams, simply titled ’Star Trek’

In this origin story we meet Chris Pine as Kirk as he rises from a slacker student to the captain of the USS Enterprise

With this film J.J. perfectly grasps what makes the intergalactic franchise so beloved

There’s a society that depicts mankind as we should be, with high morals and equality for everyone

There’s a smart plot, again involving time traveling

There’s plenty of character development and of course top-notch special effects

The pace is fantastic and provides a rollercoaster ride

But more than anything we see the ultimate bromance between Kirk and Spock being formed

Also, it perfectly honors the nineteen sixties TV series it’s based on with an abundance of nods and easter eggs

This was the first installment in a new saga

and by the time we got to the end credits, we were longing for more!

The movie that we have delivered is in the very.

I guess the very essence and spirit of what Gene Roddenberry created back in the sixties

The positive, Utopian view of society Of a humanity that had evolved beyond internal waring

and was reaching out into space

And I think it is a very.. it is a very positive message

Simon Pegg joined the crew of the Enterprise as the character Scottie back in 2009

It must have been a dream come true for him, as he’s a diehard Trekkie himself

He even ended up co-writing the script for ‘Star Trek Beyond’!

This is the 50th anniversary

and in some respects we have to look backwards and kind of take stock of the history that was behind us

But at the same time ,you know

move forward into the future with a sense of modernism

So it was a case of sort of like tying fifty years up in a bow and embodying what has gone before

and at the same time planning forward with some new ideas

Let’s find out more about the British actor up next

پلنت اکشن

Geek-made-good Simon Pegg was born in the tiny British village of Brockworth,

the son of a jazz musician and an amateur actress

At 16, he moved to Stratford-upon-Avon

the hometown of William Shakespeare, and studied theater there

. After graduating, he began his career on TV, before hitting it big in the zombie comedy ‘Shaun of the Dead’

Asked about the possibility of heading to Hollywood after the film’s success

Pegg famously replied that he wasn’t about to go off and do something like ‘Mission: Impossible III’

But two years later

he was cast in that very film

During his early days as a stand-up, Simon met his longtime collaborator Nick Frost at a Mexican restaurant where Frost was a waiter

The two would go on to be flat mates

and even shared not just a room but the same bed at one point.

The funny actor is considered one of the top stars in Hollywood

and he also had the opportunity to star in other major franchises

like 'Star Trek' and 'Star Wars

In 2009,

Pegg was offered the role of Lieutenant Archie Hicox

in Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds

but he turned the part down to lend his voice to 'The Adventures of Tintin

and Hicox ended up being played by Michael Fassbender

It turned out to be a huge hit for Fassbender, though, turning him into a major star in his own right

So with that in mind

we'll let Simon himself explain the secret behind how he lands so many roles in so many big blockbusters

I think it's because of J.J. Abrams, you know.

He's a very good friend of mine and he owes me, so he puts me in all the films

I've got all this dirt on him, and I told him I'd tell the world if he didn't put me in every film he ever made, so here I am

We’ve already mentioned that Simon Pegg helped write the script of ’Star Trek Beyond’

but there were plenty of other interesting fun facts to be found about that film

but there were plenty of other interesting fun facts to be found about that film

پلنت اکشن

’Star Trek Beyond’ was released back in 2016

exactly 50 years after the original TV series first aired

The plot follows the crew of the USS Enterprise as they get stranded on a remote planet

and meet a villain who needs to be stopped at all costs

Simon Pegg plays Montgomery Scott once again in this third installment of the rebooted franchise, but he also cowrote the script

This is the 50th anniversary

and in some respects we have to look backwards and kind of take stock of the history that was behind us

But at the same time move forward into the future with a sense of modernism

So it was a case of sort of like tying fifty years up in a bow and embodying what has gone before and at the same time planning forward with some new ideas

‘Beyond’ was directed by Justin Lin.

Just like Pegg, he too tried his best to capture the spirit of the original series.

After all, how many franchises are still getting new movies and episodes after more than five decades?

You know, as a kid I remember watching Star Trek, the tv-show

and then now when I watch it back, I see that it's an anti tv-show

you know It was a group of people that had a very limited budget

and they wanted.. every week, they wanted to continue to a new world

And there was if you could just see them

just fighting and struggling with the limitations

But they didn't care. They kept moving forward

And that's the spirit of Star Trek. Even now, with a bigger budget

I wanted to make sure that we capture that

You get a sense of a group of people that has come together and is trying to tell you a story

One of the new characters in this film is an alien that Kirk and the crew meet on the planet where they’re stranded

This free spirited extra terrestrial is apparently partially based on the character Jennifer Lawrence played in ‘Winter’s Bone

As they struggled to determine a proper name for her

they kept calling her Jennifer-Lawrence-in-Winter’s-Bone

Not very catchy or original

so it was eventually shortened down and the character was named Jaylah

While that’s a nod to another film

there’s also a lot of easter eggs hidden in the movie that refer to the vast ‘Star Trek’ universe

although you’d have to be a pretty die-hard Trekkie to spot them all.

One thing you’ll probably notice when watching the film is how stunning everything looks

Especially the makeup was done so well, it even earned them an Oscar nomination

The sets look great too

Sure, a lot of scenes were done in studios, but the director was adamant that the outdoor scenes not be shot on sound stages

I moved the whole company from Vancouver to Dubai

Just so that we could really get a kind of sense of film making.

Sometimes you get lost, because you are in a room, and it is green screen.

And yeah, I mean those tools are available, and I tried really hard to make sure that whatever decision that was made, that they really get a sense of place

And so that is why we moved all the way around the world, really to get that kind of sense so it doesn't feel like you are just in a room

’Star Trek Beyond’ was a mild success

It grossed in $343 million dollars on a $185 million production budget

and it scored mostly positive reviews, although nowhere near as good as the previous two films

Sadly, it also marked the last time Anton Yelchin played Chekov

as a month before the film’s release, the actor sadly died in a freak car accident

In the end credits there’s a dedication that reads “For Anton

Superstar Rihanna recorded and performed the song Sledgehammer as a single to promote ’Star Trek Beyond’

Even though the track didn't make it on the movie soundtrack list

the song was a hit for trekkies and non-trekkies alike

More on Rihanna's Star Trek connection up next.

پلنت اکشن

Movies have been getting some of the biggest musicians around to make music for them for years

So naturally 'Star Trek: Beyond' didn’t want to be a left out

In one of the trailers for the flick, they debuted a track by Rihanna called 'Sledgehammer

which shocked her fans as well as fans of the film franchise

Naturally, the Bajan beauty made a music video for her tune

but she was also just happy to get involved with the massive blockbuster

'Star Trek' has been running since the middle of the 1960s

and is as popular now as it's ever been and Rihanna has a very clear idea as to why it's such a successful franchise

Rihanna clearly has a deep connection to the 'Star Trek' stories

and now she's managed to push that even further

becoming a part of it just as much as it's a part of her

and that's something she's very proud of

'Star Trek: Beyond' hit American screens at the end of July 2016,

and was truly a movie made by the fans, for the fans

thus every part of it a joy for everyone involved

from the cast and crew to the audience

Coming up later on Planet Action... we get to check out the props that make sci-fi flicks pop

But for now, some actors you didn't know were in Star Trek!

پلنت اکشن

The 'Star Trek’ saga is truly massive

with multiple TV series and motion pictures having been released for over 50 years already

With so much footage, there’ve been thousands of extras wandering around in the background

and among them there are actors who later grew to be big time movie stars

Let’s check out some familiar faces you might not have known were in ’Star Trek

First up there’s Tom Hardy

who for one of his earliest roles played the antagonist in 2001’s ’Star Trek: Nemesis

In fact

I feel exactly what you feel

While Tom did his best portraying the villainous Shinzon

it’s not exactly his most memorable part ever

Oh well, he more than made up for it later in his career

Anyway, on to the next celeb: Dwayne Johnson!

Before ever appearing in a motion picture, the Rock played a Pendari champion in an episode of ‘Voyager

Kim Cattrall is mostly known for playing the sultry Samantha from ‘Sex and the City

but a few years before that show, she boarded the Enterprise as the Vulcan helmsman Valeris

in ’Star Trek IV: The Undiscovered Country’

In that same movie you can also find a tiny part for Christian Slater as an unnamed officer

Well before she became Spider-Man’s love interest

a then 11-years-old Kirsten Dunst appeared in an episode of ‘The Next Generation’

as a member of of a telepathic alien race

Christopher Lloyd might be best known as Doc Brown from the ‘Back to the Future’ trilogy

but that’s not the only part he ever played

Do you recognize him here as the Klingon Kruge in ‘The Search for Spock’?

Comedian Sarah Silverman once had a small and completely forgettable role in ‘Voyager’

… as did ‘Seinfeld’s Jason Alexander, although he got to wear cooler makeup

Back in the eighties, Desperate Housewife slash Bond girl Teri Hatcher popped up in an episode of ‘The Next Generation’ as a Transporter Operator

In that same series you can also find Frasier himself, Kelsey Grammer

as the captain of a ship that’s caught in a time loop

And speaking of ‘Cheers’ stars, Kirstie Alley played the Vulcan Saavik in ‘The Wrath of Kahn

We’ll forgive you if you don’t recognize him without his barbed wire wrapped baseball bat

but this Xindi-Reptillian from ’Star Trek: Enterprise’ is actually Jeffrey Dean Morgan

Then there’s iconic punk rocker Iggy Pop

who was turned into a Vorta for a small role in ‘Deep Space 9

Years before becoming Jean Grey in the ‘X-Men’ series opposite Patrick Stewart

Famke Janssen had already tried to seduce his character Jean-Luc Picard in ‘The Next Generation

Seth Macfarlane is a diehard Trekkie

as you might have noticed

with multiple nods appearing in his series ‘Family Guy’

and Seth writing and starring in the ’Star Trek’ spoof ‘The Orville

but he was also actually in ’Star Trek: Enterprise’ himself for two whole episodes!

And last of all, perhaps the most high profile celebrity ever to pop up in the intergalactic franchise

is King Abdullah Il bin al-Hussein of Jordan

although he was still a prince when he was in ‘Voyager

. His dialogue-free role was actually a surprise arranged for him when he visited the States, as he’s a known Trekkie

Chris Pine is the face of the most recent ’Star Trek’ movies and plays none other than the commander of the Enterprise himself

Captain James Tiberius Kirk

Captain James Tiberius Kirk

so let’s get to know him a bit better

پلنت اکشن

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Chris Pine definitely comes from a showbiz family

His father is a longtime TV star who still occasionally acts today

, you might remember him playing the father of John Krasinski’s character on ‘The Office

Pine’s mother appeared in several B-movies before she stopped performing in the 80s and became a psychotherapist.

And on top of that, his grandmother was a Hollywood pin-up

who starred in more than 60 films back in the 40s and 50s

After graduating from college, Chris began working as a waiter and making small appearances on TV shows

but he hated serving customers

and his career was not going the way he’d hoped

Pine decided to move to New York and try his luck on Broadway

even going so far as to buy a plane ticket and arrange a place to stay in the Big Apple

A week before his flight, though, three job offers came in

including his first movie role as the love interest for Anne Hathaway in ‘The Princess Diaries 2’

so he stayed in LA

In 2009, Chris became a household name thanks to the blockbuster ‘Star Trek’ franchise

when he was cast as James T. Kirk in the 2009 reboot

His outstanding performance led him to take part in other star trek sequels, Star Trek Into Darkness in 2013

and Star Trek Beyond in 2016

Chris Pine’s career shows no signs of slowing down

and it looks like he’s definitely making his family proud

Making alien planets come to life is no easy task

as you need a lot of otherworldly stuff to make it look realistic

And that’s where prop makers come in!

No matter what you require, there’s some pro who can create just what you’re looking for

and Studio Graphics which make graphic props

and sells them to TV shows and feature films

and sells them to TV shows and feature films

Let’s dive into the world of movie props

پلنت اکشن

Movies are always full of props

ranging from extreme weapons to every day objects

We were fortunate enough to get a tour through ISS Props

a major company specialised in creating everything needed for films

Based in LA, the company has a warehouse of over 150,000 square feet

stuffed with more than a million different props

ISS is really three different companies

ISS, Infinite Studio Services, which lends things

Studio Art and Technology, which manufactures special effects

and Studio Graphics which make graphic props

and sells them to TV shows and feature films

Everything from ID’s to licence plates to police car skins

You know the expression "like a kid in a candy store"?

Well that's pretty much how everyone feels when first walking through ISS Props

So stay seated and feast your eyes

This is our semi-automatic hand gun room

So all of these are more contemporary hand guns, semi-automatic

So all of these are more contemporary hand guns, semi-automatic

This is the room that could kick Canada’s but in a war if we had to

no!

It’s just a large inventory of a lot of different time periods

A lot of different countries. A lot of different agencies

Western stuff. Indians. Village. You name it.

Third world country stuff

Horse equipment, buckets, rubber replica

If it’s commercially available we’ll get it, and if it’s not we’ll simply make it.

Fake drugs, fake cigarettes and tobacco products

Snortable fake cocaine, lactose powder.

But if you have an actor that’s lactose intolerant then we get Sorbitol, it’s a food stabiliser

So you have to be careful with what you grab

But Sometimes it’s real and sometimes it’s fake

This is a fake one, so when actors are on camera pumping iron and getting big

oftentimes it’s with rubber fake weights

Don’t be too impressed

We work under the premise that at any given time twenty percent, twenty five percent of our inventory is out

So if it was ever to come back at one time we would be in trouble

Now that we've seen about 0.1% of the props laying around

we'll move on to the rooms where they manufacture them all

So this is the shop itself

As you can see everything from woodworking to steel to welding

This is a water jet machine

So it cuts steel up until several inches thick with extreme precision and very fast with high pressure water set them in

It’s all computer controlled.

We have laser cutters and etchers, so technology is changing the manufacturing business quite a bit

We have 3D printers,

computer controlled routing devices

Multi acting CNC machines

So this is our order processing

The orders will be pulled in here, assembled

punched into a computer system that’s proprietary

and send out for a one week rental, a two week rental, or six months rental

While ISS Props is growing by the day

they've suffered setbacks in the past as well

Like when they had make fake cash for 'Rush Hour 2

So we created and designed this hundred dollar bill that has many parts on it that aren’t real

like for motion picture use only

If you look on the back it’s the Bilson house

and it doesn’t for me look like a hundred dollar bill

but it was close enough for them to start turning up after extras kept them as souvenirs

And Secret Service came in and shut us down

and I Gave us a letter of seize and desist

Whenever Secret Service comes in and says that you’ve broken Federal Law

it should concern anybody

So we took it very seriously and we don’t print money like this any longer

In fact, this piece is even laminated so it can’t be used

In the end, no serious actions were taken against ISS

so they could continue producing everything you can imagine

The next time you watch a movie, keep an eye out for the props

and just imagine all the work that went into it

Planet Action is trekking off to another galaxy for now

but we'll be back with more earth-shaking action next time!

See you then!
